DISCOVERY OF METALS fChemQuandary 1 Copper, gold, and silver are far from being the most abundant metals on Earth. Aluminum, iron, and calcium, for example, are all much more plentiful. Why, then, were copper, gold, and silver among the first metallic elements discovered? these elements are in rural areas! they were found in places where people wanted to be and where people were at. copper when melted reacts with the air and produces a black smoke! that could of helped when finding copper. also these metals are more reactive.
